Yes 'older cars 'were possibly worn 0ut by 100,000 miles or way less but they are / were designed to be serviceable and go another 100,000. I saw so many 'new' [inc a new hemi] cars in where I was getting machine work done on my engine. I would discuss them with the mechanic and I have to say it shocked me, Hyundais cooking engines, Kias no main bearings available, VW Passat that blew the lands clean off the pistons, Audis rings gone at 100,000Klm and so on.. Anyway back to the question .. I think B&S said it all.. all well going at speed but your brakes need to be able to match that first thing!
